To get a copy of the repo: git clone http://your-username@scm.trinitydesktop.org/scm/git/<repository name>

To exclude items: Create a file '.gitignore'

To add to the git repository (easiest and most efficient way): git add .(this will add everything in the folder (excluding stuff from .gitignore). It is intentionally a period because * will make git stop on already committed files.)

To commit to the git repository (this does not send to the remote server!): git commit -a(no need to do any git mv or git rm or any of that with the -a option.)

To pull recent commits from the remote git repository: git pull(do this before pushing so that you don't collide with other's commits.)

To push to the remote git repository: git push origin master(the 'origin master' part is optional after the first time.)

To branch (be careful! This is different from SVN.): git branch <name>(don't know what branch you're on? run "git branch" to see and list.)

To switch branches: git checkout <branch name>

To tag a commit (like for releasing a tarball): git tag -a <version> -m <message>(ps: this will make webgit generate a tarball with this tag.easy releases anyone?)
